Negative Smoke Testing is a subset of smoke testing that focuses on verifying how a system handles invalid, unexpected, or erroneous inputs and conditions at a basic level. Unlike positive smoke testing (which checks the “happy path” where everything works as expected), negative smoke testing ensures the software doesn’t crash or behave unpredictably when things… Continue reading Negative Smoke Testing

Build Verification Testing (BVT), sometimes called Build Acceptance Testing, is a subset of smoke testing focused on quickly validating that a new software build is stable and functional enough for further testing. The goal is to catch major issues early—think of it as a “first pass” to ensure the build isn’t completely broken before investing… Continue reading Build Verification Testing

Zephyr Enterprise provides a centralized hub for all testing activities. You can create test cases, organize them into cycles or suites, execute them (manually or via automation), and track results in real time. It integrates tightly with tools like Jira, Confluence, and automation frameworks (Selenium, JUnit, etc.), ensuring testing aligns with development and delivery pipelines.… Continue reading Zephyr Enterprise

What is Protocol Testing? Protocol testing verifies the proper implementation, functionality, and performance of communication protocols used in networks and devices. It ensures that data transmission follows the defined standards and that interoperability between different network components is seamless. Key Objectives of Protocol Testing Ensure protocol compliance with industry standards (e.g., TCP/IP, HTTP, SIP, 5G,… Continue reading Protocol Testing

What is Network Interoperability Testing? Network interoperability testing ensures that different network components (such as devices, applications, and protocols) can communicate effectively across various network environments. This testing is crucial for verifying seamless interaction between different vendors, network technologies, and standards. Key Objectives of Network Interoperability Testing Ensure seamless communication between network devices, software, and… Continue reading Network Interoperability Testing

Data Migration Testing What is Data Migration Testing? Data migration testing ensures that data is accurately transferred from one system to another while maintaining integrity, completeness, and consistency. This testing is crucial when upgrading systems, moving data to the cloud, consolidating databases, or changing infrastructure. Key Objectives of Data Migration Testing Ensure data completeness –… Continue reading Data Migration Testing

Conformance testing, also known as compliance testing, is a type of software testing that ensures a system, application, or product complies with industry standards, regulations, and technical specifications. It verifies that the software meets the required guidelines set by regulatory bodies, industry organizations, or legal frameworks. Why is Conformance Testing Important? Ensures legal and regulatory… Continue reading Conformance Testing

Endurance Testing, also known as Soak Testing, is a type of performance testing that evaluates a system’s stability and performance under a continuous load over an extended period. Purpose of Endurance Testing: Identify memory leaks or performance degradation over time. Ensure the system remains stable after prolonged usage. Test for database connection failures under sustained… Continue reading Endurance Testing

Spike Testing is a type of performance testing where the system is subjected to sudden and extreme increases in load to observe how it handles a sharp rise or fall in user activity. Purpose: To evaluate system stability under abrupt changes in traffic. To check if the application recovers quickly after a sudden load increase.… Continue reading SPIKE Testing

Fault Injection Testing is a technique where faults (errors or failures) are deliberately introduced into a system to evaluate its robustness, error-handling mechanisms, and failure recovery processes. Purpose: To ensure that the system can handle unexpected failures gracefully. To identify weaknesses and improve system reliability. To simulate real-world failure scenarios in a controlled manner. Types… Continue reading Fault Injection Testing
